Nigerian Tribune- Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has
asked Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose, to shut up and seek
God’s forgiveness for abusing him barely two years after he
begged him in a letter over previous insults.
Governor Fayose had last week in Ile Ife, Osun State,
lambasted Obasanjo for what he called Obasanjo’s
unnecessary outbursts on President Goodluck Jonathan.
But Obasanjo, through one of his associates who craved
anonymity in Abeokuta on Friday, said that Fayose who
wrote him a letter, begging him two years ago to facilitate
his (Fayose) return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
could be attacking him again so soon.
The Obasanjo associate asked Nigerians not to take Fayose
serious as he would soon write another letter of apology to
the former president.
Fayose’s letter, dated June 26, 2012, contained how Fayose
begged Obasanjo for forgiveness for what he called his
actions that had caused embarrassment to the former
president. The tone of the letter also asked the former
president to help him facilitate his return to the PDP.
The former president, in his reply to Fayose’s letter, dated
July 18, 2012, accepted to forgive the Ekiti State governor
but told him that the aspect of facilitating his return to the
party needed to be handled at the local, state and the
national levels of the party.
Below is the unedited content of the letter Fayose wrote to
Obasanjo and the former president’s reply to Fayose’s
letter.
Fayose’s Letter:
“Dear Baba,
“There is no denying the fact that my relationship with you
has gone sour as a result of my action and inaction which
have definitely caused you embarrassment in public and
this has marred our very good father-son relationship in the
past.
“I take responsibility for my over reaction and disrespect to
your person which is most regretted, I am indeed sorry.
“I pray that God will give you the grace to let go of the past
knowing fully well that I am human and therefore not
infallible especially considering the circumstances
surrounding my removal from office.
“To further buttress my willingness to seek peace with you, I
could recall that I had made several efforts to this effect by
consulting your close allies in the persons of Aare Afe
Babalola (SAN), Chief Omilani and Pastor Oyedepo amongst
others.
“Lastly, kindly disregard all insinuations or political
blackmailing suggestive of my doing or saying anything
contradicting my present disposition as contained in this
letter.
“My reconciliation with your goodself may not go down well
with some of my political opponents, but you remain the
father of all.
“My wife sends her love and greetings.
“With high regards.
Signed
Ayo Fayose.
Obasanjo’s reply dated July 18, 2012
“ Dear Ayo,
“I write to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated June
26, 2012 pleading with me to forgive you, as you put it, for
your action and inaction which have caused me
embarrassment in the public.
“As for the embarrassment and personal insult to me,
forgiveness is divine and I will not withhold forgiveness
since I believe that God will not withhold forgiveness for my
inadequacies.
“However, for me, the personal aspect can be handled by
me but the party aspect has to be handled at the local, state
and national levels of the Party.
“I wish you all the best and God’s blessing.”
Signed
Olusegun Obasanjo.
According to the associate of Obasanjo, it was based on
Obasanjo’s intervention that other stakeholders of the party
rallied round Fayose to facilitate his readimission into the
party even amid stiff opposition from leaders of the PDP in
Ekiti State.
“One wonders why the same Fayose who wrote that letter is
now against the president settling his differences with
Obasanjo given the background that he (Fayose) wrote that
letter of apology barely two years ago,” the source said.

Baba Iyabo knows how to shut people up lol

in politics, there is no permanent friend or enemy u only av permanent interest.

this fayose is a hypocrite.

OBJ IS A FATHER. I RESPECT HIM.

Beht our elders have this saying. When a man gets so old, he begins to act like a baby again.

Obj is already acting like a baby.

I still like him sha

fayose is a big fool.. he bite the hands that fed him .. i thought he had change when i saw him postrate in church..he can never change.. a thug will always remain a thug

Hehehe... Obj never dull.

The guy being smart since 15bc

Well, Fayose has gotten back to his feet again. He has the audacity to attack the calibre of OBJ now. And if Obj doesn't take his time, him(Obj) might be the one to beg this time. That is politics for u. A man who has slaked his taste, turns back at the stream, no longer needing it.

Baba o. i de hail u
